Background:
Grant Macdonald is a Canadian artist and investment banker who runs an inherited family bank called MacDonald Bank, and has initiated in adult-oriented business ventures through his studio MacDonald Studios which has produced many films and recordings of homoerotica.
Born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, he studied drama at UCLA while appearing in movie productions in Hollywood. An investment banker with family owned MacDonald Bank, he structured Getty/Reserve merger on Wall Street. Macdonald composed & recorded A Billion Bucks soundtrack, directed Gettymovie and authored several books.
His earliest musical activity can be traced back to 2011 when he was campaigning against the Getty family for making treacherous deals with the Third Reich, which would constitute as treason within the U.S. federal laws and not compensating his work in the Getty/Reserve merger deal. In an effort to be more commercial, Macdonald took a break from his grudge toward the Getty for country-rock music. His first few songs featuring the latter style were rejected by recording and radio executives for being too gay; the artist retaliated by making his music more homoerotic, leading to the famous Ram Ranch song series. Ram Ranch and its subsequent sequels gained widespread fame for its fusion of homoerotic poetry and country rock music, though his use of the country rock music was reportedly by outsourcing various royalty-free music. Macdonald, to this date in December 2020, continues to release music through Soundcloud and various streaming platforms, exploring different themes in his music.
